I did promise some form of fuller review of The Passion Of The Christ some time ago. I had elegant and fast expanding views about the film which I thought it would be clever to share with you in my usual slightly smug and arrogant way.
Needless to say, I forgot.
Since the film is now gone and no-one is talking about it any more, it seem facile and churlish to proceed with my intended review. All I will say is this: It was nice that people had an opportunity to talk about the life of Jesus in a constructive way for once. Whatever anyone ever says about the film, it did set the agenda of conversation for a few days. Maybe that's enough.
That notwithstanding, I could cheerfully spend the rest of my brief time on this earth without watching another brutal flogging. One is sufficient.
